SECTION 340:75-16-33. Discharge and transition plan

(a)   The treating facility prepares a discharge plan with the assigned child welfare (CW) specialist's input prior to discharge and submits a copy to him or her. The discharge plan includes:

(2)   identification of public and private community-based agencies that are involved in providing treatment and support for the child. Linkages with the agencies are made prior to the child's discharge to allow for a smooth transition.

(b)   The child is discharged from the facility when he or she no longer meets medical necessity or commitment criteria as determined by appropriate inpatient behavioral health service staff.

(c)   The child is discharged upon the expiration of the court order or when a new court order directs the child's discharge.
